Bring Me the Head of Cauliflower Garcia

Kyle MacLachlan wears full look by PRADA.

Kyle MacLachlan can’t and won’t fit in a box. From his roles in Dune, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and Portlandia, to miscellaneous ventures in true crime podcasting, his Walla Walla winery, and newfound TikTok fame, his CV is as iconic as it is irregular. What keeps the actor’s actor going? A passion for discovery—and roasted cauliflower, a vegetable so flavor-packed that even his 15-year-old son will eat it.

Ingredients

• 1 cauliflower head
• A couple tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cumin, more to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons panko
• A splash of white vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat a baking sheet to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Render the head of cauliflower into bite-size pieces. (Not too small!)
3. In a bowl, coat the cauliflower in olive oil.
4. Add cumin, smoked paprika, salt, panko, Parmesan... add more or less spice as you wish!
5. Mix with your hands to coat the cunning, cruciferous cauliflower.
6. In the bowl, splash the vinegar onto the veg, give it one last toss, and then fling those bad boys onto the preheated baking sheet.
7. Roast for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Add more Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
9. Don’t stack the cauliflower! You want the pieces to roast, and if they’re too close they’ll steam and come out soft.
